This makes a fabulous pudding - warm or cold with cream or ice cream, or a luscious afternoon tea cake. A family favourite that my kids ask for often.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

60 g butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup brown sugar
300 -400 g tinned pineapple rings
8 -10 glace cherries (optional)
60 g butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup white sugar (or raw or golden granulated)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
170 g flour (1 1/3 cups)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Make the topping:.
  • Cream butter and sugar and spread over the base of a deep cake tin. A loose bottomed tin can make it easier to remove the cake later - or you can line it with a piece of baking paper if you're nervous!
  • Arrange fruit on top. If you like you can put a glace cherry in the centre of each pineapple ring.
  • Make the sponge:.
  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add beaten egg and vanilla.
  • Add sifted flour and baking powder alternately with milk (or use juice - not syrup - from the tin instead of milk).
  • Pour sponge mixture on top of fruit.
  • Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate.
